NE-Standing in my backyard, looking up. Chimes are tied to my second floor awning.
I see a baby dragon in the lower left hand corner.

Yes they are @FISH.  Here is a close up shot of a periwinkle flower that I forgot to post earlier.

I was growing purple periwinkles in my yard. They made me happy.
One harsh winter was deadly.  :'(

Symbolically, Iris flower means honor, valor, wisdom, grandeur, and faith. What a beauty!

I did not know that.
I thought it was named after a radio host in NY.
You know....Iris in the morning!
Wait, that was a different thing.
heh

I had to look up the symbolism of the iris.
In 1967, my neighborhood established a Memorial to the men and women who served in Vietnam. I was only a kid at that time. Since the 1980’s, I have been the gardener. We started out with a huge amazing garden. We were growing plants from Southeast Asia. Over the years, we had to downsize our garden. In 2021, bamboo and ‘purple heart’ irises grow.

@FISH try planting some of @GravitySucks pea eggplant.  Seeds available on eBay.

I planted some Russian Purple tomatoes, whatever those are.  The seed company sent a free sample.  I hope I don’t get investigated by those military spies.
Merry Christmas

@juan I can’t find those damn seeds I bought. Mine died back because of the freeze but has new growth around the base. Glad I didn’t dig it up. My Thai friend has a couple more for me potted.
Are we having fun yet?

Mine died in the cold, too.  I’ve planted some more this year.
Merry Christmas
